While most were watching Arsenal, Chelsea or Barcelona on Wednesday night, we found ourselves very much on Bosnia-watch.
It's universally agreed that Roma front man Edin Dzeko will be the biggest threat for Ireland's chances of getting through their play-off as he is seen as the Bosnia's danger man.
The former Manchester City striker played a vital role in Roma's opener against Bayer Leverkusen as he played a fantastic outside-of-the-boot ball through to Mohamed Salah who made no mistake.
Dzeko turned from provider to finisher for Roma's second as he broke the Leverkusen offside trap and finished tidily.
Having said that, he has since proven that he's human after all. Let's hope Ireland get this Dzeko on October 13 and 16.
But even if Dzeko is misfiring for the play-offs, we'll have Mirajlem Pjanić to contend with and, being one of the deadliest men with a dead ball, he converted a penalty late on to give Roma the win.
